Madbean's Naughty Nautilus -- Enjoy! I demoed as many of the easiest sounds to access as possible, though there are some really bizarre noises you can get out of this with different setups.



Doing this demo made me realize that the gain pot really needed to be changed. Nothing below 11:00 is usable for anything I can think of. Then I realized it's because it's an audio taper, bunching about 800K into the second half of the sweep. The lowest usable resistance in most settings was ~700K. A linear would be better; a reverse audio is ideal. I decided to simply reverse the pot's action since I didn't have a 1MC lying around. Now about 2/3 of the pot's travel is useful. I think even better would be to use a RA taper and a 4.7M across it. This would make it an 825K pot with about 90% of the sweep being in the usable range.

I started out with a simple pt2399 based circuit like the Noise Ensemble, then started hacking away with the breadboard till I came up with something I was happy with.

Cool!  Almost bag pipe/sitarish before you changed to the flock of geese setting.   ;)

Both of Ray Ring's (www.circuitsalad.com) compressors. This is done more as a review since YouTube + camera mic aren't great for demoing compressors:

 If you would spend one afternoon by improving way you record audio of your otherwise really really really great demos, it would be just perfect..

EDIT: might be worthy to start thread about it if you are not sure how to do that.
